My favorite SoCal brewery, The Bruery, is teaming up with chef Eric Greenspan of The Foundry on Melrose for Dionicess VIII, an ambitious beer-paired lunch and beer-paired dinner for the ultimate beer fan/food enthusiast. Guests have the choice of either doing the 4-course lunch ($45) at 1pm, the 6-course dinner ($85) at 6pm or going…
Mas Malo Restaurant: Mas Mucho More Tequila Downtown
The new offshoot of Silver Lake’s Malo Restaurant, Mas Malo, is mas in every way — space (9,700 square feet), menu, style and liquor. The new restaurant, which opened last Friday, shares the same downtown Los Angeles building as a certain whiskey bar and the same entrance. Booze fans rejoice, especially since Mas Malo boasts…

Scoops Westside: Wasabi Coconut Ice Cream Made Me Do It
I’ve been on the wagon for a little over a month now. No Trader Joe’s peppermint Jo-Jos, no egg nog and certainly no Scoops ice cream. I decided to start this little dessert strike December 1st. In a cruel twist of fate, this was also the same day that Matt Kang opened his Scoops Westside…
Magnum Dinner at Biergarten: Bad Boys, Banana Lovin and Good Times
If you didn’t know better, you’d think that Biergarten in Koreatown was misplaced there on Western Avenue. I know I did when I first heard about it. After all, it’s not really a beer garden, nor do they have karaoke. While there is a selection of sake and wine, its main focus is on fine…
Hostaria del Piccolo: White Pizza & The 7 Dwarfs Cocktails
What is the big deal with Chef Roberto “Bobo” Ivan’s Hostaria del Piccolo, the Santa Monica sister to his Piccolo restaurant in Venice? Well, not only does the modern pizza joint offer gluten-free pie — made with naturally leavened dough comprised of kamut, soy and polenta flour — but they have a gorgeously stocked bar…

Blog Bite: Lobsta Truck’s Half-and-Half Lobster Roll
This weekend I hit up the Artisanal LA holiday shopping event where I encountered the much–buzzed–about Lobsta Truck for the first time. I was hanging out with blogger buds Lindsay of LAist and EstarLA when they decided to split a lobster roll. Problem is that they couldn’t decide whether to go with the Connecticut-style butter…
Chef Joseph Mahon and Sommelier David Haskell Pop Up at Biergarten
Biergarten in Koreatown. You might know it for its impressive craft beer selection, juicy Drunken Chicken and apparently 8:2 guy-to-girl ratio. It’s safe to say this isn’t a fancy place and you’ll never have to fret over a dress code. But this coming Monday and Tuesday, Biergarten will be all about the fancy as Chef…
